What Are YOU Looking For?

If your goals are good, you will be respected, 

but if you are looking for trouble, that is what you will get.

Proverbs 11:27 

 

I honestly cannot remember who said it, but I was told "Make sure your goals are worth pursuing."  Let's face it, we all have goals and we strive to achieve them.  

 

In John 10:10, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy."  That is his goal to steal, to kill, and to destroy.  He will pursue that goal with all that is within him, because that is the goal he has chosen.

 

You see, our goals are something we seriously CHOOSE.  They don't just happen...we choose them.  John 10:10b gives us the true goal we should pursue: "I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly."  Jesus' goal is to give us abundant life!  Our goal should be to pursue Jesus with all that is within us!
